New settings with more flexibility in terms which asset are subject to download request

Media Manager 5.4.0 introduces more flexibility in terms of which assets and media formats need to be requested for download and which of them don’t have such a requirement. Based on the concept of whitelisting and blacklisting, it is now possible to achieve one of following scenarios, all easily changed in the settings:

  1. Most assets in the system should require download request, but there should be some exceptions of assets that should should be freely downloaded. In this case, download request is a default option and the latter category is whitelisted.

  2. Most assets in the system should be freely downloaded by the users, with the exceptions of some assets that can only be downloaded upon request. In this case, free assets download is the default option, but some assets are blacklisted.

  3. Most media formats of an asset should require download request, but some formats can be downloaded freely. An example of this could be allowing free download of only the lowest possible resolution of an image or a video.

  4. Most media formats of an assets can be freely downloaded by the users, but some selected ones are blacklisted in the settings and therefore require download request. An example of this could be allowing the users to download an image or a video in its highest quality only upon request.

Dynamic assignment

There is not more flexibility in terms of who will handle the download requests. This feature is a response to customer demand and it’s especially valuable in the systems, where different assets have different users responsible for them and in power of making decisions related to those assets. In this case, if configured in the settings of Media Manager, the download request will be assigned to the correct content owner.

Improved experience with editing metadata

We received feedback that some users were confused whether they can leave the metadata New login modaleditor after saving the changes, especially in case of multi edit, when the saving process can take longer time. This is why from now on, when the user hits Save, a notification will appear in the lower right corner, informing the user that it’s safe to leave and continue with other work.

UI improvements

The users might notice a few smaller improvements in the appearance of some elements of Media Manager. We know have a better looking login modal, a new way of entering the profile settings and a more intuitive way of adding multiple assets to a collection.
